This for the next month, residents living in the Osu Klottey Municipality in the Greater Accra Region are to observe the traditional ban on noisemaking that starts today May, 17, 2019.

The usual form of worship should be confined to the premises of churches or mosques and noise levels be minimized to the barest limits possible.

The positioning of loudspeakers outside the premises of churches, mosques and pubs are banned.

Apart from an identifiable task force which consists of Osu Traditional Council representatives, the Asafoi Atse, the Police Service with tags, no other person or group of persons should be seen or found enforcing the reduction of noise in the Municipality.
